Enna Shoebridge - Down to Mexico Lyrics

You said you wanted to go
Down to Mexico
Before you get on the road
Here's what you should know

When you cross streets in town
Nobody ever slows down
Taco stand on the street
Boy, you better turn around
And if you're washing your hands
Tap water should be alright
But if you take a drink
You might get a parasite

You said you wanted to go
Down to Mexico
Before you get on the road
Here's what you should know

Miles of heavenly sand
As far as the eye can see
Margaritas in the shade
A hammock under two palm trees
And if you have golden hair
Little kids will stop and stare
Come along for a ride
Ten people in a car for five

And after you go down to Mexico
Don't come back and say
I didn't tell you so

You said you wanted to go
Down to Mexico
Before you get on the road
Here's what you should know

When you buy souvenirs
Maybe try to hide your eyes
Cause if they see they're not brown
You might get a different price
Leave your car seat at home
Hold that baby on your lap
And make sure there's T.P.
Before you sit down to

Here there's no greater thing
(No hay cosa mejor)
Than the love of family
(Que el amor Mexicano)
Treat you like royalty
Famous hospitality
The dark hair and brown eyed
Señoritas change your life
If you play your cards right
You might go home with a wife

You said you wanted to go
Down to Mexico
Before you get on the road
Here's what you should know

So if you're down to go
(Qué hermoso país)
Down to Mexico
(Siempre una parte de mí)
I will take you to see
A world you didn't know

You said you wanted to go
(No hay cosa mejor)
Down to Mexico
(Que el amor Mexicano)
Before you get on the road
(Nos conocimos hoy)
Here's what you should know
(Y ya eres mi hermano)
